Narrated Jabir:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to me), "If the property of Bahrain had come to us, I would have given you so much and so much." But the Bahrain property did not come till the Prophet (ﷺ) had died. When the Bahrain property came. Abu Bakr ordered somebody to announce, "Any person who has money claim on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) or whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had promised something, should come to us." So, I went to him and said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had promised to give me so much an so much." Abu Bakr scooped up money with both hands thrice for me." (The sub-narrator Sufyan illustrated this action by scooping up with both hands and said, "Ibn Munkadir, another sub-narrator, used to illustrate it in this way.") Narrated Jabir: Once I went to Abu Bakr and asked for the money but he did not give me, and I went to him again, but he did not give me, so I went to him for the third time and said, "I asked you, but you did not give me; then I asked you (for the second time) and you did not give me; then I asked you (for the third time) but you did not give me. You should either give me or allow yourself to be considered a miser regarding my case." Abu Bakr said, "You tell me that I am a miser with regard to you. But really, whenever I rejected your request, I had the inclination to give you." (In another narration Jabir added:) So, Abu Bakr scooped up money with both hands for me and asked me to count it. I found out that It was five hundred. Abu Bakr told me to take twice that amount

حدثنا علي، حدثنا سفيان، حدثنا محمد بن المنكدر، سمع جابرا رضى الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لو قد جاءني مال البحرين لقد اعطيتك هكذا وهكذا وهكذا ". فلم يجي حتى قبض النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فلما جاء مال البحرين امر ابو بكر مناديا فنادى من كان له عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دين او عدة فلياتنا. فاتيته فقلت ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لي كذا وكذا. فحثا لي ثلاثا وجعل سفيان يحثو بكفيه جميعا، ثم قال لنا هكذا قال لنا ابن المنكدر وقال مرة فاتيت ابا بكر فسالت فلم يعطني، ثم اتيته فلم يعطني، ثم اتيته الثالثة فقلت سالتك فلم تعطني، ثم سالتك فلم تعطني، ثم سالتك فلم تعطني، فاما ان تعطيني، واما ان تبخل عني. قال قلت تبخل على ما منعتك من مرة الا وانا اريد ان اعطيك. قال سفيان وحدثنا عمرو عن محمد بن علي عن جابر فحثا لي حثية وقال عدها. فوجدتها خمسماية قال فخذ مثلها مرتين. وقال يعني ابن المنكدر واى داء ادوا من البخل
